Hike up 8 flights of stairs, knock/ring bell on door, no answer, wait, knock again, no answer, write out a shut notice, endorse the packet, walk down 8 flights of stairs and just as your about to open the entrance door and make your escape you hear a voice from the top of the stairs..."Postie! Postie! Hello? Hello? Are you there? Did you knock at the door? Do you have a packet for me??!??! Helllllloooooooooo????!!!".......
how annoying is that?
I swear they do it on purpose...
.....of course you could just ignore them and pretend you didn't hear them....

People who get at least 5-6 special deliveries a week from eBay and are always at work. These packets are never big enough for the driver to take, except on a Saturday when they are being re-delivered and even then they've gone out for the day. What, did they forget they phoned on Friday to have them all redelivered on the Saturday!
The other one that annoys me are the people who are waiting for parcels and seem to blame me when the sender hasn't even posted the thing yet. Moan, moan, moan, where's my parcel, every day. Then when it arrives they're either not in, or they don't apologise when you point out that it was only posted the day before.

I've had a couple of customers who have buggered off on holiday and never bothered saying. On one occasion I went to the neighbour all concerned thinking some old biddy had pegged it because of all the mail behind her glass door only to find out she was sunning herself in majorca. The other one complained because of all the mail when he came home saying his house could have been burgled due to my stupidity in continuing to deliver the mail when it should have been obvious no one was at home.
I am a postman and I kept the faith and I kept voting, not for new labour but for the working man.

Of course, you were only doing your job in reality. They wanted a free keep safe service then?
And if not you get shedloads of mail on your doorstep doh!If you're going away for a short while, Keepsafe™ helps you avoid that tell-tale pile of unopened mail on your doormat. We can hold your mail for up to two months, and deliver it when you ask us to. All we need from you is a week's notice to set up the service, the names of all the people in the house whose mail you want holding, and a small fee - for example, two weeks use of Keepsafe™ costs just £5.70

on one duty (I use to live on this street) we got one carabean bloke, I swear he speaks worst then I do, like zed off police acadamy, the only way you can understand a blooming word he says is if you add 10, subtract 50, divide by an 100 times 0 and then ignore what the bloody hell he saying. He rambles on for 30mins and all the sense I got out of him was you open the gate then shut the gate. He calls me postie even tho I was one of his neighbours and he knows my name, and hes that stoned all the time you should see his front garden, its an ecstacy trip, with any other drug you can think of. I take a pic one day and show you.
